Fernie: Ghost Town (But not in that way)

Fernie, British Columbia is one of those places where you walk outside (or look out the window, for that matter) and say, “Wow.” The mountains are all around us and beautiful; the town is very cozy and nestled right in the middle of them. We arrived to much fanfare (parades, the presentation of the key to the city, a champagne reception. You know, the usual) and without too much Bessie trouble. We have forsaken the air conditioning completely and we’re not loosing too much coolant. We filled up what we had lost, including the reservoir, which Jiffy-Lube filled with washer fluid instead of anti-freeze, by the way. Perhaps we should have been watching them instead of getting our hippie on with the hacky-sack…

Samubad P. Nice, King of Nantucket

After playing Firehouse 13 in Providence, Miss Fairchild defined the Stamina Show by heading with a quickness to Nantucket Island, the original home of Jive Sucka! and the old stomping grounds for us all…

Weird Dude Dancing to Miss Fairchild

Trick Johnson, trolling the internet for examples of his exemplary bass playing, stumbled upon a bootleg video of Miss Fairchild as the live soundtrack to an intoxicated “gentleman’s” dance routine… Quite entertaining througout, but the end is special. Watch the whole thing, please, and enjoy a bit of irony, courtesy of the world’s favorite internet video site.

Space Gallery, August 24

So much has happen in my absence from this little journal. We announced the dates of our midwestern/Canadian tour, we bought a van (more on that later), we were interviewed on the radio, we scaled a very large mid-Manhattan building, we explored some Bolivian silver mines, we starred (and did our own stunts) in a major motion picture and we won the lottery for the largest quilt ever made! Some of that is even true! And also…

Outdoor Festivals

We played at the Psyforia Festival yesterday and what a fun time we had! The event was held at the American Legion in Cambridge, outdoors, right next to the Charles River. I should mention that it was pretty hot yesterday. I never saw a thermometer, but I’m pretty good at guessing these things and I would estimate we were in the low to mid nineties (that’s Fahrenheit, by the way). That river started looking pretty good after a few minutes performing in direct sunlight, but not one for swimming in city rivers, we stayed ashore, played our funk music to a festival crowd and had a whale of a time.

We were invited to the event by our close friend and original Jive Sucka! Ammon EP, who is a terrific dj, an emerging producer and unbelievable hooper. That’s with a hula hoop for those of you unfamiliar with the fad. (I call it a fad not to be derogatory, but because when I was taught the word ‘fad’ in elementary school, the hula hoop was the example that we were given. In fact, whenever I think of the word, an image of plastic tubular ring, often in bright shades of orange, pink and green, comes to mind.) So, listen, I’m serious: Ammon is unbelievable with a hoop. The whole phenomenon is so much more developed than I previously realized. In fact, there were quite a few people hooping at the event and they were all pretty much amazing.

And there was food (thanks Heidi!) and more music and a great crowd. There were friends and family. Not to rub it in, but I really don’t know how you missed it. (Did I mention we performed?)

Speaking of which…

Miss Fairchild on the Boob Tube

Well, well, well. It seems that Miss Fairchild was on television yesterday. (I say “seems” not because I didn’t know, but beacuse I can’t believe it was yesterday. Time flies when you’re playing funk music!) We stopped over at the Plum TV ‘Morning, Noon & Night’ Show while we were waiting for the ferry, and looking each 1/3 cowboy and 2/3 dapper (that’s a whole lot of fly, by the way), were recruited to take their program home for them. So, if you missed it live (it was live! Did I mention that?), see it now and let them know what you think.

[It’s just Miss Fairchild, by the way. You’ll have to go to Youtube if you want to see The Miss Fairchild Show.]

Wacky

Well, well, well. For those of you who missed it, there was some pretty wacky stuff happening at 36 Hummock Pond Road on Nantucket last night. Between Daddy Wrall leaping into the pool fully clothed during our set and some folks leaping into the pool, um… less fully clothed right after we finished, it’s safe to say that somebody had a good time last night.

Entrances and Exits

We had a really fun show tonight at the Rose & Crown. For me, it’s really great to be back on the island after being away for the past few months. I can really appreciate the air here. In fact, the night ended for me with a really long walk. Of course, it was raining (just call me Charlie Brown...), but that did more to add to the brilliance of the night than it did to detract.

So, it was a good night. But one with it’s share of (let’s call them) interesting moments.

Buttons

I did not expect buttons to be the enduring important topic from tonight’s installment of Miss Fairchild Presents The Miss Fairchild Show at Great Scott in Allston, but I’m glad they are as they have a special significance for me.

We all have “nervous” habits. Some people bite their nails, some people twirl their hair. I, apparently, unfasten and refasten the buttons on my shirt and vest. I didn’t know about this habit until a few weeks ago when our friendly neighborhood lead-singer Daddy Wrall pointed it out to me. I don’t mind so much, really. There are many other nervous habits I could have (and I’ve tried most of them) that are be more damaging and evoke more concerned looks from my fellow man. (Who am I kidding? I’m talking about concerned looks from women.)

Foo Fest 2007

Wow, how much fun was Foo Fest?

I think I can speak for the rest of the band when I declare my love for Providence. No matter the event, the location or the size of the crowd, this town is always down to participate in The Miss Fairchild Show.

And well, it was a sort of milestone for us here at Miss Fairchild. Y’all were likely the largest gathering of people we’ve had since expanding this band to five pieces. And for that to be a Providence crowd… well, that’s special.

So three cheers for Providence! We’ll see you soon. (Don’t forget to write.)

all hallow's eve

A seminal night for Miss Fairchild, this Halloween 2006. Playing at Chicky’s Fine Diner in the hamlet of Westbrook, ME, DW, P. and myself had decided to dress as “the old Miss Fairchild.” Under those rules, Wrall might have had bigger hair and a different cut to his beard, P. might have worn sweat pants (pink, preferably) and I might have sported an ascot. Upon arrival, however, we found our costumes had already been taken by three enterprising fans. So Caitlin, Liz and Meaghan: way to represent. Maybe we can get some photos up here so the good folks keeping score at home can see. (hint, hint…)

At Halloween parties, you see people dressed as pop stars and musicians all the time; normally, however, those pop stars aren’t you.

Until next time, The Great Dunlap

I might have to start charging for this stuff.

Okay, okay. Here’s what’s up:

Shows are great. New York really stood up on Friday for our show with the peerless Don Dilego. Daddy Wrall and I “sat in” for a tune off his most recent record, Photographs of 1971 (hint: buy it). From hearing the new tunes, sooooo many of you have been clamoring for a copy of Ooh La La, Sha Sha… which is as yet unavailable. Let me say this as a teaser: something off this record will become available soon. The form and location of this music is undetermined, but we will put something in your hands, believe me.

And Portsmouth, NH: oh how we love thee! Let me count the ways. Can’t wait to get back to the Red Door. See you soon, I hope.

For those of you that braved the rain and cut countless costumed celebrations in favor of getting down mf style: you win. We concede victory.

Many highlights from the weekend, but allow me to relate one in particular:

Celtics Training Camp

okay, so this isn’t a sports blog and i’m not going to talk about the c’s. i am, however, going to shout out christopher rockswell, aka develin of develin and darko, who recently moved up here and was sporting a pretty fly c’s hat. he’s from baltimore and no one expects him to work any bullets gear (esp. since the bullets had two failed attempts at existing are now the wizards of all teams.) so welcome to beantown chris.

well, show with spankro was pretty slamming. big thank you to everyone that came out. as you can see, there are changes, surprises, moments of awe and wonder. ups to chris (soundguy), ronnie, spankrock, paserock, ben (happy birthday) and others. for those of you who weren’t able to get tickets: we’ll be back soon, i promise.

in the meantime, go root for the celtics, they need it right now. (there’s always hope, though, especially with such a young team.)

From Shining Sea To Frozen Tundra

Well, it looks like I missed that ever important next day window for recapping Miss Fairchild’s recent strong. You see, I spent nearly the entirety of Thursday, Friday and Saturday awake, and come Sunday, there were not enough remaining braincells to form one complete sentence, let alone several complete sentences to make paragraphs and such. Well, now we’re at Wednesday and I still have doubts about the projected coherence of my ramblings, but here I go anyway…

Bringing It All Back Home (no new info)

People: we love you. You are the reason this is good and I thank for you that.

Miss Fairchild made a little homecoming last night, to the place that, in a way, it all started. You see, Daddy Wrall, the Great Dunlap and Samuel P. Nice used to play in this band Jive Sucka! way back in 1997-8 that foreshadowed in a serious way what’s going down nowadays. That band lived and played on Nantucket Island and it is to her shores that we returned last night with the new five piece band.

And Nantucket really came out for us. Came out and supported the band, supported the music, supported the upcoming album, supported its own. You folks exceeded my expectations.

And hopefully we did the same for you.

For those of you who don’t know what’s up, it’s a whole new era in Fairchildland and if I were you, I would get on the train now, while you still can. Those of you that have been with us all along: say word, motherlovers; you guys got it going on.

And on we go. See you at the next show.

PEOPLE!!!!! (What you doin’?)

Well, we at MF are standing on the verge of getting it on, motherlovers. I have to say sorry for my long absence from this blog. It isn’t that there is nothing going on, more that there is too much going on. We’ll get to that shortly.

For those of you who aren’t hip to the e-mail list, two things: (1) get hip, go to missfairchild.com and sign up; (2) uh, it sounds kind of drastic, but we have a new band.
